Oh man, if I was fantasy I'd be shitting bricks if I ended up vs jaedong in the finals. Even though fantasy has made it to 2 consecutive finals his play is still really shaky. I'm quick to say that fantasy didn't sweep bisu 3-0 due to his brilliance, but because bisu just played very poorly.

Seriously, it seems like an incredible number of players get help from Much in match preparation. Much is a crafty sonofabitch, that's for sure.

much also used to have the best pvt in the world before he went into his most recent slump. it's good to see that he obviously can still create some good strategies even while he's not playing well

I doubt Bisu even practiced at all. He didn't practice vs best, and was really sorry beating his teammate and everything, so this time he's probably like "um I'll just go easy on fantasy", and then this happened...

No, I'm pretty sure that's not what happened.

I'll bet that he felt sorry for taking Backho's spot and decided to man up and forfeit discreetly, RIGHT?

When I look at the maps, it is easier for terran to defeat zerg than for protoss to beat zerg. Since I beat Bisu Hyung to get to the finals, I will take the championship on his behalf.

Watch the games - fantasy played pretty damn well. Bisu's game sense was lacking during parts of them, but overall it was an amazing display by fantasy.

I maybe hate fantasy slightly less after reading this :3

he still ruined a Bisu/JaeDong finals, though...

Nice translation. Fantasy amazed me with his 3-0. Hope he wins in the finals.

- How did you practice
▲ Stork helped me practice like it was his own match(laugh). Jangbi helped me like it was his game despite his finals coming up too. But Best didn’t help me saying he has to practice at home. I looked desperately for him until just before coming here but he never helped me so I’m a little disappointed (laugh). Kal helped me the most because he played just like Bisu during practice. I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me practice.

- Why do you think the Six Dragons helped you practice
▲ Since my team was on break, I used my connections to contact all 6 dragons. Everyone agreed to help me, and I am very thankful for that. I think they were jealous of Bisu becoming the icon of Protoss by doing too well. (laugh)

- Any last words.
▲ I wasn’t able to say before but I want to say thank you to CJ’s Much and Movie, and MBCgame’s Jaehoon. I wasn’t able to celebrate openly after beating Bisu. I will celebrate openly after taking the championship. I found out that the location of the finals is in Pusan, my hometown, and it gave me strength. I hope that many people from Pusan will come watch.

My favorite part of the interview

I'm surprised Fantasy has so many connections with well-known players. It's nice to get a behind-the-scene feel of the pros' relationships.
And lol at inter-dragon drama.

- Your reaction to carriers in game 1 was very good
▲ When I saw that he didn’t take his 3rd after his reaver came out, I was sure that he was going carriers. I was already prepared for such a build and I knew how to counter it. Bisu did exactly as I thought he would.

I just noticed two things:
- Fantasy also went for a hidden expo vs Stork in game 5 last final. It looks like he inspires this risky strat a lot from oov.
- Last final, Stork said if Fantasy had practiced with Much then he would have won. This time Fantasy practiced with Much and won the semifinal.

There wasn’t much discomfort in practicing because we both agreed that the winner between the two of us will win.

lol well Im glad they got the logic behind that all worked out.

go fantasy!

Errr doesn't it make him a good teammate too, not stabbing Bisu in the back?
